Maps Left Behind

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

A road unplanned, with maps ignored,
where laughter mattered more than where we scored.
Miles rolled by, worries slipped from view,
the journey stayed longer than the place we drove to.

Soft Beginnings

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

As a child, I held a small, time-softened book,
its pages kept secrets no one else could look.
It vanished one day, as childhood treasures do,
yet left me listening inward, and writing life true.

A Life Unchained by Clocks

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Whatever the years, may they never feel long,
For joy lets time flow like a familiar song.
When giving outweighs all I gather or gain,
Even time softens, unburdened, unchained.

Neither Then nor Yet

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

I don’t linger too long in the past I’ve outgrown,
Nor chase the future yet unknown.
I choose the present, steady and vast,
Where lessons breathe, and moments last.
